A little over 20 years ago Amy Lemley and Deanne Pearn were struck by how many young people who grew up in foster care faced intense challenges after aging out of foster care, including homelessness.
With a small grant in hand, Amy and Deanne were inspired to break the cycle of poverty for these vulnerable youth and launched First Place for Youth.
First Place for Youth helps foster youth attain the skills foster children need to make a successful transition to self-sufficiency and responsible adulthood.
